Subjects who fulfill any of the following criteria are not eligible for the study:

Men and woman of reproductive potential, unwilling to practice a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the study and continuing for 1 week after for women; and 2 months after for men after receiving the last dose of study drug. Highly effective methods of birth control include sexual abstinence (men, women); vasectomy or a condom with spermicide (men) in combination with barrier methods, hormonal birth control or IUD (women).

Women who are lactating/breastfeeding

Women with a positive pregnancy test

Women planning to become pregnant during the duration of the study

History of other malignancy within the past 3 years with the following exceptions:

Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years before screening and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician

Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during dosing

Subject previously has entered this study or has been previously exposed to AMG 900

Subject will not be available for protocol-required study visits or procedures, to the best of the subject and investigator's knowledge

Subject has any kind of disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent and/or to comply with all required study procedures

History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion

Men with pregnant partners or whose partners become pregnant during the study must practice sexual abstinence or use a condom for the remainder of the study and for 2 months following the last dose of study drug. The pregnant partner information will be reported to Amgen as per Pregnancy Notification Worksheet.
